How To Get An Instant Approval Credit Card - Fast

Here is how you should choose which instant approval credit card you want. By going online, and filling out your information at a secure site, you can often get your response within minutes. Now, your approval on a new credit card can also be given quickly, too. Our TV programs need to be solved in an hour, or two for a movie.

We like our food to be fast, our lines to be short, our cash to be instantly accessible at an ATM, and service to be quick. Many things in our lives these days are fast, and that makes for great convenience.


You Need Good Credit

Before you apply for an instant approval credit card, you should check to make sure that you have good credit, or even better, excellent credit. If it is less than this, you should probably not apply because it will probably be rejected. Applying for too many credit cards will be reflected on your credit score - which could hurt you in the long run.

Select The Rewards You Want

The first thing you want to look at is the type of rewards that are offered. You may already have one in mind, but you should choose one that will do you the most good. If you travel a lot, you will either want a gas card, a hotel card, or an air miles card. It you are a student and have good credit, select a student credit card that will give you the things you buy the most - movie tickets, CD 's or DVD 's , amusement parks, clothes and more. If you are a good student, look for one that gives extra points for good grades.

For those who are in their car a lot, there are also driver 's cards. These not only give you points for the gas that you buy, but some also give points for car maintenance. In addition, some of them will allow you to use your points toward the purchase of another car - new or used.

Look At The Introductory Offer

On most credit cards, there is an introductory offer that can last anywhere from three months up to 15 months. You want to look at the length and apply for a credit card with an offer that lasts as long as possible - especially if you are going to transfer any balances. Get an instant approval credit card that has no fees for balance transfers.

Also, find out what the normal cash back percentages are. This will typically be anywhere from 1 to 6%, depending on different types of purchases, and which credit card you get. Remember, the higher the return - the better.

Consider The Interest Rate And Fees

Also look to see what fees there are, and do a comparison of other offers to get the best. This rate, however, is for the interest that you will pay on any balances left on the card each month. Your credit score will determine the actual credit rate you get.

Choose a credit card with as low an interest rate as possible.


After you are approved, you will probably receive it within a week. If there should be any question about your credit score, they will contact you to resolve the question before a credit card will be issued. Once you apply for your instant approval credit card online, you may even be able to have your response in a matter of minutes.

Trading Practice and Better Trades

Believe me, I so understand where you are at - I started the exact same way. I call this the READY - FIRE - AIM syndrome. It is so hard to watch students jump before they are ready, but I see it time after time. If you only knew what we know, after years of trading and teaching students, you would do whatever we tell you and never break a rule.

Milk not meat! When you are new at this game called the stock market, you will find it necessary to start off with the basics.


We start you off here, to help protect you from potentially more dangerous trades, until you can begin to grasp how the market works, to understand options a little better, and just get more comfortable with the language of the stock market. Using a delta of .70 to .90 is the basic starting point to work with. There are so many things to teach you in the beginning to only buy options with a high delta.

Once you have attained and can begin to comprehend the basic knowledge, and you have had a chance to get your feet a little wet, then I can teach you in my

how you can estimate how long you will want to stay in a trade, and how to modify your trading strategy to use options with lower deltas. This can become very powerful, not to mention profitable, when you learn this advanced but simple technique.

I have seen many new students buy what we refer to as "THE KISS OF DEATH" options" which is a front month (the next month to expire), out of the money option. I understand how attractive these options look, being so cheap to buy and so profitable if the trade works. But the key word here is "IF"! These short-term options can be very risky, since time is not on your side! As a new unskilled trader (even if you think you know what you are doing) your thought process isn't exactly perfect yet.

With so many market traps awaiting the new trader, it is imperative that you first use practice trades to hone your trading skills. Many students skip the critical step of practice trading, before getting down to the business of trading real money. This can quickly become one of their major downfalls and often take new traders out of the game permanently. If you practice trading with real money, and you discover your technique is wrong, you are now wrong and broke! It is so easy to give up at this point and say the stock market doesn't work. The bad news is that typically means you have to go back to your JOB!

There are only a few trades I would consider using risky front month, out of the money options for. They include:

* To buy Insurance on a trade (see LEAPS DVD 's )
* To do a strangle over earnings or expected serious news announcements
* To do a BULL PUT SPREAD (BUPS)

I don't think I could stress enough how critical it is for you to practice perfect trades before using real money. And NO cheating!

You are not ready to trade with real money until you have PERFECTLY PRACTICED trading on paper so well that it is driving you crazy! I mean absolutely wild. Why? Because it is at this point that you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that trading works! You are winning most of the time, and it is not REAL money - it is pretend money! Now you are serious, and you will do whatever it takes to get the money to trade - sell something, take on a part time job, but you now know trading DOES WORK! It is at this point, and only at this point, that you are finally ready to start using real money to trade. Did it work that way for you, or have you been cheating yourself? If you have been cheating yourself, please stop the madness now and do it right!

It is interesting how professional traders realize the importance of practice trades, and continue to practice along with their real trades. This keeps them up on hot stocks they may have just started to notice. But they practice them on paper until they get to know the heartbeat of the stock. Then BINGO" they can get in on some sweet deals when the timing is perfect, while others sit on the sidelines wishing they made that sweet trade!

On the other hand, I find it funny that only amateur traders think they are too good to practice trade. Well here 's an important secret" overlooking this one element of practice trading (until you are perfect) is a critical error in judgment! So critical that many traders who cheat, by skipping practice trading, most likely will not make it in the market anyway! Is it worth the risk to take this terrible shortcut? Absolutely not!

I think there are three critical things that are needed to become a successful trader:

1. You need to study and pick one strategy to trade. One that fits your lifestyle and your personality. Once you have found your strategy, please take the time to PERFECTLY PRACTICE it first.
2. You need a system to monitor your practice trades (and eventually your real trades). This fine tunes your entrance and exit timing, in addition to using safety nets and insurance. (See my NEW LEAPS DVD 's if you are not familiar with how to use safety nets or how and why to buying insurance).
3. You also need to understand how the stock market itself works. (Learn this in my NEW Q 's DVD 's ).

In my next newsletter I am going to address how to understand the actual workings of what we call "AMATEUR HOUR", so you can use this for better entrance and exits into and out of trades, in addition to knowing when NOT TO PANIC if you think the trade might be turning around. I will address how "Amateur Hour" is not a time issue (an hour), but instead is a "THING"! You don't want to miss this discussion!

In parting, I just want to encourage you to stick to trading. Practice Perfectly first, and once you get this right" you will begin to see why I am so excited about my lifestyle" because it will become yours! I am just an ordinary person, who decided to follow the rules, and stick to it until my trades worked. I am so in awe of how my life has turned out, and even better how I have been able to help students learn what I know in a fraction of the time and cost it took me to learn it.

You deserve all that you ever dreamed of, so let 's go get it for you! I look forward to being a part of that process for you!

Happy Trading,

Tips On How To Consolidate Bills So You Can Maintain Family Life And Get Rid Of Credit Card Debt

If you currently own a home, and there is some equity in it that you can use, there are actually several low-cost options for you to consider, that are straightforward such as a simple debt consolidation loan. If you currently own a home, and there is some equity in it that you can do to help consolidate bills, and many different steps to take. There are many things that you can do to help consolidate bills, and many different steps to take. This is not always the case, however, because not all lenders have your best interest in mind.

You may have been led to believe that taking out a single loan to pay off all of your debt is the answer.


A fixed rate loan, for example, generally carries a term of around 15 years, and will require an origination fee, an appraisal fee and a title insurance fee. You can take out a home equity loan is actually tax deductible. 1.

2. You can complete a "cash out" refinancing. This is another option for people who have some equity in their home. What you do, is you refinance your property for an amount which is greater than what you owe, then you use the extra cash that you have earned in order to consolidate bills. By using this method, you actually manage to obtain a very low interest rate, but in the process you are stretching your monthly payments out over a span of between fifteen and thirty years depending on the terms of your individual mortgage loan. This is really a one time ever option, however, because the interest cost really tends to add up over the years making it an expensive option over time.

3. You can refinance your vehicle. Any secured loan can be borrowed against, and this includes your vehicle. The biggest danger associated with this form of debt consolidation is that you may actually run out of car, before you end up running out of debt. When you owe more than what your car is worth, it is generally pretty tough to buy a new one.

4. You can obtain a personal loan. If your credit is reasonably undamaged, you may be able to qualify for a loan, which is unsecured. You will generally find lower interest rates at credit unions than what you will find at banks, but you should still expect an interest rate of at least 11 percent or more. Still, this can be a lot less than the 20-or-so percent that you are paying to your current credit card companies.

5. You can negotiate better terms. This is something that you can easily do for yourself, simply by calling your credit card issuers, and asking them to help you negotiate a better term. Many regular customer service operators are authorized to do what it takes to reduce your rates right there while you are on the phone with them.

In certain cases, bankruptcy might be your best option, but it is by far not your only option. The actual creditors pay these debt consolidators, like NFCC,, which means that it is in their best interest to help you work out a plan for repayment, rather than advising you to take other options such as declaring bankruptcy. It is even possible to consult with someone at NFCC over the phone. The NFCC is a not for profit organization which provides debt management advice which is free, confidential, and available to anyone in the country who needs it.

The NFCC has branches located all over the country. There are a lot of people out there who would love to help you, including organizations like the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, also known as the NFCC. You can seek other alternatives. 6.


A debt consolidation loan will make your monthly payments manageable and help provide the financial stability you need for your family. Don't let your credit card debt affect you any longer. You have many different options available to you to consolidate bills and put control back into your finances.
